O is for Obedient

OBEDIENT

Obedience doesn't just happen, you need to practice, practice and practice some more.

Sometimes telling or showing isn't enough, you just have to lead by the hand (or paw) and demonstrate to get your point over. Our dogs are bright, usually when they don't catch on quickly its because they haven't been taught properly.

In the video Ruth is teaching Jessie to jump "over", note she only gets it when Ruth lifts her over to explain.
